Amazon says it will hire 100,000 workers to assist with online deliveries in the U.S., and raise their minimum pay to at least $17 an hour through April.
"With so many stores and restaurants closing, delivery workers are now the linchpin that connects businesses to consumers,'' says Neil Saunders, managing director of retail consultancy Global Data."Without them, many businesses will simply grind to a complete halt."
Alberto Oca, a partner in the strategic operations practice of Kearney, a global and management consulting firm added that hiring now is a smart move. Grocery delivery service Fresh Direct posted an advisory on its site that delivery windows were selling out, and it was adding more slots to meet the demand.
Delivery was already on the rise as more Americans are choosing to purchase meals and then eat them at home.
